This is why this universal health care, pro-gay marriage, "socialist" Canadian despises the American "progressive" movement; exemplified in this thread as race baiting, xenophobic thugs. This man is so far from the base conservative Canadian philosophy, he is likely unwelcome anywhere but Calgary and even then he'd get politely ignored most places. But has more integrity in the scrapings of his fingernails than the rabid "retard" shouting "liberal".

agreed... Ted actually "gets it" and the left fears that..so he must be labeled a "nut"..unlike this genius Obama

Re: Ted Cruz Gets Boos From Christians by Praising Israel

A new analysis by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life finds that Tea Party supporters tend to have conservative opinions not just about economic matters, but also about social issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage. In addition, they are much more likely than registered voters as a whole to say that their religion is the most important factor in determining their opinions on these social issues.2 And they draw disproportionate support from the ranks of white evangelical Protestants.

I seriously suggest you read this.

It is not in anyway proof that the Tea Party IS itself a religion as your posts suggests, but merely points out that far right conservatives happen to be more religiously affiliated.

It strongly suggests, however, that the "progressive" left in Amerika IS religious about spreading propaganda including the false use of data.

But what evidence is there of a broader, permanant shift? Here's the short answer: Not much."

The event organizers brushed the booing off on "a few politically motivated opportunists" but that really doesn't jibe with Cruz walking out.

You forgot to tell us that the group of Christians Cruz walked out on are not evangelical Christians but Arab Christians. Kinda makes more sense now huh?
